The air frame of the Pelican allows them to carry heavy objects underneath their tail booms.

According [https://twitter.com/TDenningauthor/status/1186665770727673856 a tweet] by [[Troy Denning]], D75/s was an early name for the vehicle, which was later replaced by D75/g at [[343 Industries]]' recommendation. The use of the term D75/s in chapter 7 was a mistake that slipped through proofreading.}} | ||
